My dear Fellow, Gentlemen Blip at EVANS', Covent-garden. r E LONDON RESTAURANT COMPANY (Limited). A N APPEAL to thp SHAKSPERE COM MITTEE for the ROYAL DRAMATIC C)LLEGE.— Patronised by her Most Gracious MAJESTY and his Royal Highness the Prince of WAI.ES.—The noblemen and gen tlemen forming the various Shakspere Committees are ear nestly prayed to ems der the appropriateness of devoting a portimn of the funds collecting for the Tercentenary Celebra tion of the great Poet to the above Institution, founded for "the poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more," and the education of their children. What nobler monument could be erected to the memory of Shikspere. himself a player, than the building and endowing the two schools of this College in his name, and enabling a few worn-out actors to pass in comfort to their last home who have contributed to your pleasure and amusement ? Shakspe:e writes :—‘, Good my lord, will you see the players well bestowed! Do you hear, let them be well used ; for they are abstract and brief chronl. les of the time." R WEBSTER, Master. Naval and Military Intelligence. Capital £50,000, in 10,000 Shares of £5 each. This Company is formed for the purpose of establishing large Dining Halls and Luncheon Rooms, in which will be offered Dinners and Refreshments of a first-class character, at charges adapted to the means of the various sections of the commercial public. That which Mr. Lang has effected in Glasgow and 51. Duval in Paris, with such marked success, the Directors seek to accomplish in London, feeling per suaded, as the " Times" remarks, that, " No speculation can be safer than that based on supplying the want of a good meal at the lowest price." Although the London Restaurant Company will offer ac commodation of a kind that has not hitherto been attempted, yet from the markets in which it proposes to buy, and the various sources of revenue that will be opened up, it is felt that this undertaking presents elements of success far greater than any of the joint-stock hotel companies, although some of these have realised very large dividends. Prospectuses and Forms of Applications for Shares may be obtained from W. E.

A model and plans for a" whol►y" ironclad vessel have recently been submitted to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty by Lieut. H. H. Napier, R•N„ of her Majesty's ship Duke of Wellington, the greatest advantage being a lighter draught of water than any war vessel afloat in pro portion of tonnage (14ft draught to a tonnage of 2,180). The estimated speed of the vessel is from 12 to 18 knots, and she will be capable of carrying any description of gun that can be used afloat. Capt. A. Farquhar and Capt. Sir J. D. Hay have been awarded the good service pensions vacant by the removal of Capt. H. Broadhead and Capt. J. L. Stokes from the Captains' list. . . . NORWICH UNION FIRE AND LIFE OFFICES• In the new Navy Estimates, just published, the sum of £55,438 will be required to be voted for carrying out the different works now in progress for the enlargement and extension of Chatham dockyard during the ensuing year, which amount is exclusive of the sum required for the ordi nary operations connected with the dockyard. The forma tion of the new basins, docks, factories, and other buildings intended to be constructed at Chatham, the whole covering an additional space of 300 acres, will involve an outlay of £815,000 beyond the sums already expended, but the sum of £27,000 only is taken in the estimates for the ensuing year. From this it appears that the work will be spread over a number of years. On the occasion of the recent visit of the Lords of the Admiralty to Chatham it was decided to erect more powerful and costly machinery for carrying on the works connected with the build ing of the iron and iron-clad ships, and accordingly a sum of £16,318 is taken in the estimates for new machinery, exclusive of £1,500 for improved ma chinery in the ropemaking department of the establish• ment. There is also an item of £1,090 for preparing the foundations for the new machinery, and the sum of £9OO will be required for the new 25-ton crane which the Lords of the Admiralty directed to be placed between Nos. 3 and 4 docks. The expense of dredging and clearing the harbour of mud is again large, the sum of £1,500 being required for that work during the year. There is a decrease in the num ber of established workmen, the number being 1,467, against 1,544 last year. The following promotions were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commanders to be Captains—J. W. 'Whyte, M. R. Pechell, E. H. Howard, J. K. E. Baird, C. T. Curme, H. H. Beamish, G. W. Watson, H. D.

Me deaths registered in London in the week end ing last Saturday were 1,647 ; they exhibit a small decrease on the number in the previo•as week. In the ten corresponding weeks of the *years 1854-63, the average number was 1,320, which, with a cor rection for increase of population, becomes 1,452. Hence it appears that the deaths in the present re turn are more by 195 than they would have been if the average rate of mortality at i:his period of the year had prevailed. Notwithstanding the severe wetather the inhabi tants of London have lately experienced, the deaths from pulmonary diseases (exclusive of phthisis) de clined from 438 is the previous week to 427 last week; bat the effects of the low temperature will probably be seen in future return. Bronchitis waa fatal in 277 cases, of which 130 were those of persons of 60 years of ago and upwards; 83 persons died from pneumonia, 35 from abtlituo, and 183 from phthisis (or consumption). The deaths by zymotic diseases we re 331, the corrected average for corresponding Ns eeks being 317. Eight deaths occurred from smallpox, 32 from measles, 55 from scarlatina, 6 from liplalieria, 65 from whoopingcougn, and 72 from typhus. Six hundred and sixty-three persons died. under 20 years of age, and 431 were 60 years and up wards. Tha deaths of 6 nonagenarians are recorded, the oldest of whom was a widow, who attained the age of 96 years. Six children died from measles at the Workhouse, Norwood. Five deaths, 3of which were those of infants, were from syphilitic disease. Fifteen children and one adult died from burns or scalds. Eleven persons were killed by fractures or contusions, and five deaths were caused by suffoca.. tion. Four infants were murdered. The widow of a coalwhipper died at 12, Love-lane, Stepney, from congestion of the lungs, caused by exposure to cold. A workman in an artificial Ho tver warehouse, residing at 23, New-street, Borough-road, South wark, died from arsenical poisoning, four months, ulceration of the bowels. A boy aged 11 years, died in Gay's Hospital from tetanus, the re sult of a wound caused by treading on a flint stone. A man, aged 44 years, died at 4, Rowland-court, Bermondsey, from tetanus. Last week the births of 1,009 boys and 996 girls, In all 2,005 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1854- 63 the average number (corrected) was 2,116. At the Royal Observatory, Ureenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.525 in. The barometrical reading increased from 29.21 in. on Friday to 30.07 in. by midnight on Saturday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 34.6 deg., which is 4.1 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 53.8 deg. on Saturday. The lowest night temperature was 20.1 deg. on Wednesday. The entire range of temperature in the week was therefore 33.7 deg. On Thursday there was a range of only 44 deg. of temperature within 24 hours. The mean tempera • ture of the water of the Thames was 37.6 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 4.7 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 83, complete saturation being represented by 100. Snow fell on Monday and on Wednesday. Rsia fell on Friday and Satur• day. The direction of the wind was variable. INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL SOCIETY (Limited).

This Company is formed for the purpose of working a valuable concession granted on the 26th July last by the Congress of the Argentine Republic for the canalisation and use of the Arroyo del Capitan, a narrow winding stream or channel connecting the Parana de las Palmas and Lujan Rivers, the latter of which it enters opposite the town of San Fernando, 16 miles above Buenos Ayres ; together with the erection and construction of such wharfs, ware houses and deposit stores as may be necessary to the require ments of the coasting trade of the interior rivers, and the establishment of towing steamers to and from the rivers Parana and Uruguay. According to the Bureau of Statistics, 1860-1. at Buenos Ayres, the trade on these rivers averaged 277.000 tons per annum ; and as the great staples of wool, hides, and tallow are susceptible of inde • finite expansion, this trade will no doubt annually increase. The extreme difficulty of the navigation of the Capitan stream is notorious to all those who are interested in the coasting trade of the River Plate and its tributaries; and it is equally well known that the expenses of that trade under its present impediments and disa bilities exceed those in any other part of the world. The vessels which come down stream in these rivers always bring heavy deck-loads, which they discharge into lighters in front of San Fernando, subject to all the delays i ne vitable to such proceedings. Under these circumstances it has become a matter of paramount importance to the trade and commerce of Buenos Ayres that the objects which this Company undertakes to carry out should be effected without delay ; and as it is calculated that the net income in tolls, wharfage, and deposits will not be less than 18 per cent. on the Company's capital, it is obvious that the un dertaking will be a lucrative one for the shareholders. The following extracts from official documents, published in Buenos Ayres in May last, amply confirm what is said above. The President, in his message to Congress, ex pressed himself in the following terms. " When the stream of the Copan shall have been recti fied and canalised from the mouth of the Parana de las Palmas to the River Lujan, and convenient wharfs established with sufficient depth alongside, with ware houses of deposit and shelter exactly at the extremity of the Railway from Buenos Ayres to San Fernando, which is being rapidly carried on to its completion, the benefit that such works must produce in aiding the traffic of passengers and merchandise with the interior is beyond all doubt. It may be truly said that all these works are naturally connected with one another, so that the want of one of them would seriously impede the commerce of the country, With this understanding the Executive recom mends the bases for a concession. The enterprise being beyond measure lucrative in itself, it has only been neces sary to stipulate some conditions of security, to the end that the concessionaire may have the means of organising the Company and raising the capital required. " According to all calculations, the tolls, wharfage, and warehousing that the Company is permitted to levy on its various works represent only one-half of the ordinary ex penses with which merchandise in its present traffic is sur charged—and this, too, without taking into account the thousand accidents with which it is complicated during the the voyage, and the operations of loading and discharging ; so that commerce will not only gain in the security and rapidity of its transport, but also in a direct economy of its freights and other necessary expenses." The Committee of Finance of the Chamber of Deputies made a report to that body to the same effect, and so did the Navy Commission. The works which it is now proposed to execute are the first of the kind on the entire river coast, and they will be situated at the only port on the Rio de la Plata in immediate connection with 5,000 miles of in terior navigation, and effectually defended from all gales. Moreover, it may be well to add, that the works now proposed to be executed by this Company form a neces sary complement to the important railway to Cordova, which is about to be carried out under influential auspices; for when the works comprised in this concession are con structed, every ton of merchandise bound to Buenos Ayres, or from thence into the interior, including Paraguay, Upper Brazil, and Bolivia, will pass through this Company's pro perty, instead of being subjected, as at present, to the pecu liarly dangerous navigation of the River Plate. The concession allows a net profit to the Company of 18 per cent. during a period of 20 years. This SUM is proved to be 50 per cent. less than what the shipping interest now pays to lighters and carts in the open roadstead of Buenos Ayres, not to mention the inevitable losses from damaged goods, demurrage, and theft, which by the present system so largely burden consumption in that country, but will be fully saved by these works. Yet this sum of 18 per cent. is by no means the measure of the large profits which the Company will have the power to make, for the limit of 20 years applies simply to the canal, the great and increasing benefit derivable from the bonded wharfs and warehouses remaining to the Company in perpetuity. The materials, machinery, and tools for the construction and working of the enterprise will be free from all import duties, and from any other contributions of taxes, during the period of 20 years mentioned in the concession. The hydrogradhical surveys in ocnnection with the con cession are the work of iJommaneer F. W. Sidney, Hydrographic Corps, R.N„ and the working plans and estimated by P. Moneta, Esq., engineer to ;the Argentine Government. It is under these favourable circumstances that the Directors have made arrangements with highly respectable and responsible contractors, according to which they will execute the works, under the superintendence of Mr. Brun lees, the Company's engineer, at a sum enabling the Direc tors to defray the charges of the concession, the payment of 5 per cent, interest to the shareholders during construction, and the expenses of management, all within the limits of the Company's capital.

The progress of Mauritius, as the chief seat of the produc tion of sugar by free labour, has been such as to create a large and valuable landed property, which affords an excel lent field for the operation of a Lind Mortgage Bank or Credit Foncier. The following table of the exports of sugar from Mauritius gives the best pro f of this progress, and shows how firmly the prosperity of the colony is now established : Tons. 1850 ............. 55,468 1851 ....... 61,664 1852 1853 ...........•• ...... 91.012 1854 , . ..... 85, 01 1 1855 ................. , .............. 126.446 1856 ... ............................ . 117,979 1857 ....................... , ...... 114,50 1858 ............. . ......... , ...... 119,335 1859 ................................ 1 25,000 1860 . ............................... 130,869 The crop of 1861, owing to a hurricane, only produced 108,000 tons, but that of 1862 reached 160,000 tons, This production tends every year to increase wi th the faci lities of obtaining labour from India, with extende d cultiva tion and irrigation, and w i th the establishment of railroads,which are in course of execu t ion , and will be part iall y o p en to traffic in the early part of this year. At the present rate of production the annual value or the sugar crop may be t .ken at £3,00 value of the sugar e , ta tes a t X 6,000,000 ; in addition to which there is a large amoun t of rea l property in lands, houses , and other forms. useful outlay of capital in There is also great scope for )000, and the fee-simple im provements on estates, by erecting sew machinery, clearing i waste lands, and irrigating. The rate of interest is exceedingly high, and a rate equal to 10 per cent. per ann um, or 8 Per cent. interest, with 2 per cent. co omission, would be readily paid on loans redeemable by annuities, and with a security never less than double the advance.

The Directors of the Land M,,,.. tgage Bank were of opinion that Mauritius promised an excellent field of operations, but as the nature of the properties and tenures of land are diffe rent from those of India, to which the original subscriptions of their Bank were invited, it was thought better to raise a separate capital and constitute anew Company, which, while connected with the M isortgage —ank by friendly relations, should yet be a distinct institution. The close connection between Mauritius and India renders this alliance peculiarly desirable, and will be the means of securing valuable busi ness to the new Company , wh i le the expenses of an office and establishment in London will be diminished by mutually advantageous arrangements.

Under the direction of the General Purposes Committee, whose year of office has just expired, the interior of the Mansion House has been undergoing the process of " bright. ening up." There has been no striking change made in the City palace, the works having been confined to a general cleansing, the application of paint and varnish here and there, and the "bringing out" the gilt mouldings, &c., which are so freely distributed over the interior. It is some years, however, since so much has been done, and the effect is to give the various parts a much-improved and cheerful appearance. To begin at the beginning, the vestibule has been freshened up, and some statues placed in the several niches which were before empty. The office of the Lord Mayor's secretary (Mr. J, Gibbs) has been repainted, and otherwise restored. The massive and very handsome (albeit somewhat too heavy) marble mantelpiece has been tho roughly cleansed and restored, and the carving is now shown . to advantage. The Lord Mayor's Parlour has been restored, and a very large mirror, placed in the wall at the sow h side, gives to the room a greatly extended appearance. The Long Parlour has been newly carpeted, the massive moulded ing has been restored, and over the fire-place at each end a bust has been placed—the subjects being Wellington and Nelson. The Egyptian Hall has been considerably improved in appearance. The chandeliers have been relacquered, and cirpets taken up and renovated, &o. The most striking fea ture here, however, is the removal of the statues from be tween the pillars to the niches at the sides. This gives more room, but as the receptacles are muchlarger than the statues, the latter appear out of place. They require something to show them up; and we think scarlet drapery, such as was recently applied with so much effect at Guildhall, might be used here with advantage. Busts of Scott and Byron have been placed over the doors of the hall, inside. The State Drawing-rooms have been considerably improved , and a direct entrance made into the Egyptian Hall from the south room, which will be found very convenient for company (ladies especially) going to or leaving the hall at banquets. The State Bedrooms have been newly painted and vamished,and the staircases, &e., restored. The works will cost something like £2,000. Previous to their going out of office the General Purposes Committee, with Mr. Deputy Scamell, the chair man, visited the Mansion House, and expressed their appro val of what had been done. In consequence of the works going on, the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress could not take up their offioial residence until about three weeks ago. If the Lord Mayor be not worn out with the fatigues of the mayoralty by the time his year comes to a close, the last-mentioned fact might form a sufficient excuse for his asking that his term might be extended for a couple of months ; but there is little doubt that his lordship will be quite satisfied with the responsibli ties and honours of office (like most of his predecessors) before the 9th of November comes round again. _ tio T ne h d e e b ile ee te n in de er fe y rr M officers and household has, however , been fix e d for Wednes bedan. qu T e h ts e have . l f w o r the on d r e a y a n d i a n b n o e v r e t m o e the n - day next.

She had her military centre in the grand old Castle, whose first ages are lost in the obscurity of the pre-historic periods ; her ecclesiastical centre in Holyrood, with its attendant vil lage of Abbey Hill, and burgh of Canongate ; and her com mercial centre, of at least five centuries standing, ;al the port of Leith. It is more than probable that the Castle Hill has formed the site of a stronghold ever since man took posses sion of the island. Its fortifications wouvledsshibalvye r te tres eh s a , de k w no , consisted of a few grassy mounds, topped, like place grow y g a ru l e l pw s a o n unp andthage long after t o h f e t h he illfo vi rt t s r fie o d f f N or e t w ; a le d alan t d lien on w l w to n sh in are Sc i o n tl t a h n e d pr a soe sloping t ol e eo pw a t i g i that ene o rngs , by lines of palisades ; it would then would encircle it, and a town would The ecclesiastical portion of the which it afforded. Every succeeding age would witness 6 :lla n , d alm fo o r s ni t un a der fo i new changes ; there would be changes in the towers and ramparts, and changes in the gradually growing city below. In the year 1600 Edinburgh was little more than half a mile in length by little more than a quarter of a mile in breadth. It has since become 'what we now see it—a great metro polis, for which man has done much, but nature more. its military position. At the distance of about three quar ters of a mile from the hamlet under the battlements, there rose far adown the sloping talus, as early as the year 1200, a second hamlet, separated from the first by open fields and thickets of brushwood, and which had grown around the ecclesiastical centre of the place. The old chapel of Holy rood was founded, in fulfilment of a vow by David 1., on the spot which ho narrowly escaped being destroyed by a furious hart at bay. On the third day after the celebration of the mass, the King, yielding to the solicitations of his young nobles, set forth from the Castle, it is, said to hunt, notwithstanding the earnest dissuasions of a holy canon. " At last, quhen, he was comyn threw the veil that lies to the eist fra the said Castell, quhere now lyes the Cannon gait, the staill past threw the wood with sic noyis and din , of buyillis, that all the bestes were raisit fra their dennis.; The King, separated from his train, was thrown from horse, and about to be gored by a hart " with I of which the hart fled away.

This particular foible is not one of which he has been generally accused; in fact, its existence had scarcely been suspected until it was thus candidly con fessed. THE ARMY. In the notice of the services of the late Major• General J. Portlock, ILE., as given in The Sun of yesterday, there were omissions respecting two important duties which. he performed. In early life he wa4 for many years on active military service in Canada, and on coming home in 1824 he was attached to the Ordnance Trigonometrical Survey, and was chief assistant of the director, Col. (afterwards Gen.) Colby. In the execution of that survey, particularly in Ireland, he made through a series of years such strenuous and successful exertfons, that his associate, Major-General Larcom, K C. 8., now Under Secretary for Ireland, has said of him that " no man, perhaps, ever in his own person per formed so great an amount of labour, both of observation mid calculation." STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER, Feb. 16.—There has been a better feeling in our shipping market for yarns, consequent upon advices from Calcutta and Bombay reporting an improvement in both those markets. At Bombay. January 29, yarns had improved, and cloths were ls. to ls. 6d. per piece advanced as com pared with .the date of the previous mail. The money-market was also easier, and the rate of ex change lower. At Calcutta, on the 28th, cloth was ls. per piece higher, and yarns were dearer, with an easier money-market. In consequence of these advices there has been more business doing to-day in alr counts of yarn for India. Shippers for the markets of the Mediterranean have also again been active, chiefly in water twist. Prices are firm, but with no change in quotations. We had a better tune in home-trade yarns, but without much change in prices. In cloths the telegrams from India have caused a better feeling, and there has been rather more inquiry, but there is not much business doing. This department of the market has been exceedingly quiet for 10 or 14 days, and some activity may be expected in India cloths if manufacturers do not put up their prices too mach. Generally they seem inclined to stand out for a considerable rise on first receipt of the advices from India, and this has had the effect of checking buyers for the present. There has been a considerable business:in 40-inch shirtings to-day, but the bulk of it has been for China. There has also been more business in cloths for the home trade, but sellers state that most of the sales they have effected have been in small parcels. Buyers.for all markets seem more disposed to operate, but still evince considerable caution, The news from India will probably have the effect of inducing parties who are holding orders back to place such of them as are most pressing with as little delay as possible. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of this day's cloth market :—" There has been a decidedly better feeling in the market today, owing doubtless, to some extent, to the favourable telegraphic advices received from India. Buyers seem more disposed to operate, but the business has been to a great extent restricted by the advanced rates demanded by manufacturers.' LEEDS, 16th.—There was a tolerably good attend ance of home-trade buyers in the cloth halls this morning, and a satisfactory business was done in spring goods, such as meltons, tweeds, fancy cloak ings, and other light fabrics. In the white cloth hall a fair quantity of medium and fine whites changed hands at steady prices. The export houses, especially those doing business with Germany, are a moderate restricting both their orders and their purchases, the very questionable aspect of the Dano-Germanic dispute destroying commercial confidence for a sea son. Some good orders of heavy fabrics for Den wt:-Bday. mark are in hand, or have just been completed. There are no complaints of want of work among the manufacturers, and the prices of both wools and goods keep steady. this Exchange-halll6th. h er e The de mand for lace yarns was slow, but holders ___ w ere firm, and fully late prices were maintattNendraTnicNeGantAM ained, The business done in hosiery yarns was limited, but re cent rates were pretty well supported. There is no important alteration to notice in th e value of silks. The inquiry for brown nets continues dull. !Yet prices are about the same on the legitimate sales ; for job lots prices " are irregular. ROCHDALE, 15th.—'rho flannel trade is beginning to show more activity than in the past month. The approach of spring induces the wholesale houses and also the retail ones to make purchases for that season. Shipping orders, too, more numerous than of late. Fancy goods are in chief request, and new designs are continually being induced to attract attention. A good bulk of goods changed hands to-day, at fully late prices. Manufacturers are well employed, and many of them have good orders on hand. Wools keep very firm in price. MR. SHERIDAN LE FANU'S NEW NOVEL. WY D E R'S H A N D.
